They had to release the Bin Laden photo. They had to release the birth certificate.

The majority of the American people do not trust Obama. At some point, the gloss wore off and many people realized they don't know much about the guy they elected, and what they saw in the past two years did not endear him to them...Obamacare and a shrug of the shoulders at high gas prices and unemployment.

The White House is realizing this, and they are terrified.

you say: “His action to take out OBL seems almost gratuitous, now that we know BHO has known for some time where OBL has been. It almost appears, that BHO performed this act to aggrandize himself both politically and individually.”

Read this report and look at the ‘picture is worth a thousand words. The ‘man in command’, all 6’+ of him, is scrunched down in a corner with a helpless look on his face.

Also, the fact that he's still in his golf attire seems to corroborate that he was not notified of the raid until the last moment, brought into the situation room - prevents him from using blackberry? - and told to sit down and watch how the big boys do it.

Has there finally been a coup within the WH? Is the deal, which would sooth a narcissist's soul: “We'll let you take front and center credit in public. You just sit there like a good little boy”? (Their goal? To protect our country or to ensure the party doesn't loose in 2012? Was the location, etc., of Binnie about to leak out and their hand forced before they really wanted to act? After all, they've known right where he was since last summer. Were they hoping to wait and spring this next summer, closer to election? We are dealing with very evil people. We must recognize that.)

Then we will see.

I agree. I believe Brack will certainly get a substantial poll bounce from this, on the order of 15%, I would guess. The MSM will tell us that his address from Ground Zero was the finest example of political oratory in history, or something, and they will weight the polling to prove it.

However, reality will bite, and his bounce will dissipate over the next couple of months.

Absolutely! When Bush attacked Iraq and Afghanistan the demrat Marxist mantra was “he did what any president would have done”. The only difference when Bush mounted the WOT was that he did because it was the right thing to do.

Anyone who has studied Onada and what motivates him knows that he did it because he had no choice. After
the Clintoon let Bin Laden off the hook during his administration, and it became known, there was know way the Marxist-in-Chief could let that happen again. Someone in the intel community would leak it sooner or later.

I suspect that's why Onada does not look happy in the situation room photo-op. He had to go along with the killing of a fellow radical Muslim.

Happily, he to do it so far in advance of the pres. elections it will be forgotten by then. What will not be forgotten is Onada’s economy: Continually rising unemployment, inflation, burgeoning gas pump prices, destructive energy policy and destructive economic policy. On top of that you can add a destructive and ideologicslly driven environmental policy and Onadacare.

It even looks like the Marxist moron will not even get the teeniest bounce from Bin Ladin's death.

He may bounce to 65% support.

But when Americans realize we are bankrupt as a nation and can’t afford gas or food, it will drop back to where it was before.

Remember - right after he became president, he tried to make make our wounded warriors pay for their own medical expenses? Even the dimRats knew better than to go there - even Jon Steward was incredulous.

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-march-17-2009/that-can-t-be-right-—veterans—health-insurance

and last year, he tried to FREEZE military pay for 3 years (while hiring 100,000 new gov’t workers) - That went down in flames too. But the increase they got is the smallest since the Korean War.

In addition, he wanted to cut the size of funding and the Coast Guard down by thousands of personnel - you kinow the Coast Guard. the military arm that's charged with protecting our borders. (Better to molest little kids and old ladies at the airports.)

As to the Coast Guard - he didn't get to do a big layoff - or to cut back the funding. But that hasn't helped much. They haven't GOT the funding yet. There are days when planes don't fly because they have no parts for maintenance, already having robbed other planes to keep a minimum flying. (Shades of the Clinton years.)

This lily-livered little muzzie loving little coward HATES America and hates our military. Anyone doesn't know that by know has sand in their eyes - from having their heads buried.

I totally agree with you. I have a lib friend on my Facebook page who says it was ALL Obama. This is part of his post to me

“Our soldiers do not hunt out people to kill on their own. This was a directive from the Commander In Chief, and also a campaign promise that he made before he was elected President. So it can be considered both an Obama and American Victory.”

He gives Bush no credit. I guess he thinks that ONLY until Obama got elected did the military start looking for bin laden.

“America is not stupid.”

Take away the 26% who think O is doing a great job, and that’s correct!;)

Maybe not, but the libtard base will become very exercised about stopping all "war" activity.

Bin Laden’s Death Prompts Fresh Calls for Afghanistan Pullout

You Got Bin Laden, Now Get Out of the Region, Islamists Tell U.S.

If the messiah can pull out of the middle east entirely, he will get a huge bump in the polls. Yes, I know it is logistically impossible to do it quickly, but the dumb public doesn't know that, or care. They hang their hat on what words come out of his pie hole on a daily basis and if he says all wars are over and the military is on it's way home watch for his polls to skyrocket. Of course gas prices and food inflation and lack of jobs is still going to have to take some fairly steady lying from him to pacify the sheeple.

please respond to this person, as they are ignorant. Obama didn’t suddenly say ‘go get osama’, the the military did. You could make this person look awfully small if you add just the right mix of reality and sarcasm.

I don’t think this is a winning concept anyway or he would have promised it upfront. The majority of Americans fully understand the mission is not over. That’s why both parties are for more efforts in Afghanistan.

And that’s before most people have seen the stories of how he had to be dragged kicking and screaming by senior advisors and probably security types to finally give the go ahead.

It’s fine to authorize panels to study an issue but someone still has to make the decision and he was very reluctant. A) because obl was muslim and b) because obungler wanted a criminal trial to employ legions of lawyers etc.

just wrote the same on here about FB and people writing that.

There is also another one where people are now asking why did obama order a respectful religious service to a man responsible for thousands of deaths

The picture is wierd, but I think 0bama is a little wierder than people let out. Narcissists are incredibly skilled at masking the wierdness inside with a normal facade when they are younger. You may deal with a guy who seems a little agitatable, but normal. Inside, he is as different from you as a fox’s psychology is from a rabbit. They’re almost a different species, yet they can seem wholly normal in their youth.

With Obama, you’ve got a screwed up childhood, wierd broodstock in his mom especially, and maybe his dad too. An abusive father in lolo, and then you have a lot of drug use upsetting the normal function of his brain, and even a head tilt, possibly indicating diplopia - who even knows what type of neurological dysfunction is behind that?

He’s going to be a lttle off, even if he masks it effectively, and the true him will seep out in occasional breaks of wierdness.

The bottom line here is 0bama had no choice. If OBL wasn’t ever in the house, and he waited, he would get blamed for letting OBL get away.

Hell, if OBL was never in the house, and he wasn’t there Sunday, some would say he likely got away betwen august and now while 0bama dithered.

0bama had to act, it’s that simple. He couldn’t afford getting called out on failing to act.

I think any more conspiracy stuff will only help 0bama. We need to simply focus on the economy, the currency, the debt, and 0bama’s incompetence.

Going back and arguing OBL isn’t dead, or 0bama didn’t make the call is counter productive. It turns the channel from our increasing-in-size, financially collapsing, nanny state government, and the economic destruction it is creating, back to OBL’s death, which will only help the Libs further destroy freedom in America.

The other thing I am noticing on FB is usually liberls post garbage and argue against anything anti-Obama; they are silent.
